GROW YOUR CAMPUS CLIMBING
COMMUNITY

From first time climbers to expert crushers, TruBlue Auto Belays
empower campus rec centers to provide more climbing access and
training opportunities for climbers of all ability levels.

WHY MORE SCHOOLS CHOOSE TruBlue

A climbing wall can be a huge differentiator for your campus rec center. If you have a climbing wall, auto belays are a must have for any school or university. They the perfect tools for new climbers who want to get a feel for the movement, without having to worry about learning how to belay or risk climbing with an inexperienced partner. But these devices aren't only for beginners. TruBlue Auto Belays are also the ideal solution for busy students whose conflicting class schedules make it difficult to coordinate climbing sessions with partners.

TruBlue Auto Belays are great options for kids programming and group events. Since students are able to climb on their own, a teacher or staff member can monitor a much larger number of students at one time. Not only that, more students are able to climb during a time-crunched class or after-school session.
